Open Access Network Infrastructure

Project Management Support for Network Development and Implementation

InterConnect Communications can offer both Public and Private sector bodies project management support for the planning and implementation of new network projects, from business sites and enterprise parks through to the design and construction of entire new open access networks. This support covers a number of key areas that require specialist advice including:

Production of a detailed project plan and budget projection;
Development and initiation of processes and procedures to formally manage all project activities including:
- change control;
- testing, acceptance and commissioning;
- budget monitoring etc;
Identify qualified and accredited contractors for specific tasks;
Ensure that all work is appropriately supervised;
Management of procurement activities;
In progress reviews (work execution against timescales and budgets);
Project completion reviews.

Typical of our work is the way in which InterConnect’s team of technical and regulatory specialists has been helping a public utilities provider to understand the technical and commercial options and implications of extending their business model to include provision of telecommunications infrastructure. Areas of assistance cover:

A contextual review of products and services already offered by other infrastructure providers with open access networks; Identification of the services which the utilities provider could offer to service providers who wish to use its telecommunications infrastructure;
A review of possible pricing structures for such services, taking into consideration the applicable market, competitive and regulatory framework, and the pricing structures already offered by competitors;
A recommendation of the types of service and associated pricing structure most appropriate to the utilities provider’s strategy in the provision of telecommunications infrastructure.
